    I would appreciate if anyone could recommend a decent place around Blanchardstown/Dublin 15 that is reliable and efficient. I've been let down on 2 seperate occasions by a guy in work and really need to get my car back on the road.

    The car is overheating quite rapidly and I've been advised it could be a Head Gasket problem. Its a 2001 Audi A3, 1.6 petrol if that makes a difference.

    Really would welcome any feedback on this. Thank you.

    Do a search on here...there are many threads.

    I find Discount Tyres & Motors in Rosemount Business Park to be excellent...as you'll see in the other threads ;)

    Have used Aidan a few times in the past, he's a good honest mechanic and I would highly recommend him. Discount Tyres are a decent bunch for exhaust/wheels/suspension, have not used them for any engine work, however.

    A few mechanics have popped up in and around Coolmine Industrial Estate and I see Atlas are setting up in the old Renault garage, its good to see some more competition around the place.

    i spent ages looking for a decent mechanic anywhere between navan and blanch and kept getting let down by everyone sooner or later, until i found the bodyshop and service centre purely by virtue of them being within walking distance of my new job about a year ago.

    i've been using them ever since and couldn't be happier. they're such nice and honest guys and always good value, i really can't fault them in any way at all.

    I've used these few times and I'm pleased with the service:
    in Mulhuddart: http://psmoto.com
    in Coolmine: http://www.coolminemotors.ie/
    Ring them and few others to compare prices. I go to Paul and Simon in Mulhuddart more often.
    Cheers
